Former TCU Football coach Pat Sullivan passes away

Pat Sullivan, who won a Southwest Conference title as the head coach of TCU in 1994, has passed away at the age of 69.

The first Heisman trophy winner for the University of Auburn, Sullivan is one of the greatest players in Tigers’ history. After a decorated collegiate career, he spent six seasons in the NFL as a quarterback with the Falcons and Redskins. After his playing career ended, he stayed connected to football, serving as Auburn’s color commentator before joining the staff as the quarterback’s coach. He spent six seasons on the sidelines of Jordan-Hare, helping the Tigers to three SEC championships before being offered the head coaching position at TCU in 1992.
